his dormant Kṛṣṇa consciousness and ultimately become a pure devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa.
Unfortunately at the present moment the bodily constitutions of the leaders of society, especially the governmental leaders, are polluted. As described in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (12.1.42):
asaṁskṛtāḥ kriyā-hīnā rajasā tamasāvṛtāḥ prajās te bhakṣayiṣyanti mlecchā rājany arūpiṇaḥ
Such leaders have no chance to purify their eating. Politicians meet together and exchange good wishes by drinking liquor, which is so polluted and sinful that naturally drunkards and meateaters develop a degraded mentality in the mode of ignorance. The processes of eating in different modes are explained in  Bhagavad-gītā , wherein it is stated that those who eat rice, wheat, vegetables, milk products, fruit and sugar are situated in the elevated quality of goodness. Therefore if we want a happy and tranquil political situation, we must select leaders who eat Kṛṣṇa  prasāda . Otherwise the leaders will eat meat and drink wine, and thus they will be  asaṁskṛtāḥ , unreformed, and  kriyā-hīnāḥ , devoid of spiritual behavior. In other words, they will be  mlecchas  and  yavanas , or men who are unclean in their habits. Through taxation, such men exploit the citizens as much as possible, and in this way they devour the citizens of the state instead of benefiting them. We therefore cannot expect a government to be efficient if it is headed by such unclean  mlecchas  and  yavanas .
